We were thirty miles from Bakersfield, thirty miles from Tehachapi and and thirty miles from Lake Isabella. Smack dab in the middle of the boonies on twenty acres.

There were about 1200 people in a 20 square mile area.

One year we had a super bloom. Were covered with wild flowers.

I was a docent at a place where there were Native American rock paintings. I had to study the history of the area. I read about General Freemont coming through the Caliente Creek area in 1849 and he was very impressed with all the wild flowers he saw there.
